Tom Clinton creates collographs with grid-like images to show the beauty in logical construction. The colors and patterns he uses create layers, each coming from an individual decision, yet working together. The interaction between the separate visual elements lends the pieces an individuality or personality, like a family or circle of friends. When seen as a group, the colors and layers interact with each other, and there seems to be a formula or sequence that dictated their creation. Tom uses this as a metaphor for society. There is an inner logic to each grid, a conscious decision made for each creation. Yet, printmaking as a medium also allows for chance, which brings a balance between the planned and the random. As an attorney turned artist, Tom's work reflects some of the influence of his prior profession. Ordered. Edited. Careful.
